Human beings and their society have created culture in the process of material production, and education can only be a unique tool for human beings to transmit social culture. There is no culture in the animal kingdom, and its group life is a biological genetic behavior. In the process of creating material wealth, human beings have created culture, not only living a material life that animals do not have, but also living a spiritual and cultural life that animals do not have, including education. Animals have no "culture", let alone education. Individual animals also change some behaviors and gain some "experiences" in their lives, but they can't be similar experiences and can't be preserved and accumulated between generations. The experience of animals disappears with the death of individuals. Human culture is the experience in labor and life, which is passed down from generation to generation, inherited and accumulated through tools, languages and other material carriers. Only human society can have this kind of social communication activity based on biological heredity and beyond biological instinct. This social transmission from generation to generation is education. Education is an integral part of human unique cultural life and a unique social and cultural communication tool. Education is formed by culture.

Mainly compare the conclusions of the animal kingdom and refer to secondary education.
